“Last week, a billboard went up outside the New Jersey entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel. The billboard shows a nativity scene in silhouette, with three men riding camels toward a manger. That’s a familiar image. What’s unexpected is the text accompanying the image: “You KNOW it’s a Myth. This Season, Celebrate REASON!”"
There is no place for God in theories on the creation of the Universe, Professor Stephen Hawking has said.
He had previously argued belief in a creator was not incompatible with science but in a new book, he concludes the Big Bang was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics.
The Grand Design, part serialised in the Times, says there is no need to invoke God to set the Universe going.
“A CNN article published Thursday says a new study links atheism and high IQ. Other indicators of high intelligence include liberalism, the tendency to have only one sexual partner (in males, at least) and vegetarianism. No huge surprises here, but it’s a welcome reminder that forward-thinking folks leave superstition behind.”
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) — Community residents are protesting a billboard they call offensive to Christians. Read whole story…

LONDON – London buses have God on their side — but not for long, if atheists have their way.
The sides of some of London’s red buses will soon carry ads asserting there is “probably no God,” as nonbelievers fight what they say is the preferential treatment given to religion in British society.
Organizers of a campaign to raise funds for the ads said Wednesday they received more than $113,000 in donations, almost seven times their target, in the hours since they launched the project on a charity Web site. Supporters include Oxford University biologist Richard Dawkins, who donated $9,000.
The money will be used to place posters on 30 buses carrying the slogan “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” The plan was to run the ads for four weeks starting in January, but so much money has been raised that the project may be expanded.
